Doctors Save Premature Baby Using Sandwich Bag

Born 14 weeks early, Lexi Lacey owes her life to some MacGyver inspired doctors and a sandwich bag. Lexi was so small at birth that even the tiniest insulating jacket was too big, but she fit into a plastic sandwich bag nicely. ''The doctors told us they had never known a baby born as prematurely as Lexi survive. She was so tiny the only thing they had to keep her body temperature warm was a sandwich bag from the hospital canteen — it's incredible to think that saved her life," says her mom.

    She will not survive. Nobody does. What counts is how long you manage to put off the dying.

    Live, it is a killer.

    Lucky that hospital is in England, in the US they would have their ass sued off for telling the mother it was nothing. And rightly so.

    Remember US, when you complain about law suits, in the EU we have no means of putting the fear of god (or rather dollars, which doctor worship) into doctors.

      Parent is not offtopic. Everybody dies. It's just a question of when.
